  Run. As far and fast as you can. That thing cannot be good for anybody and it definitely looks evil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘A fundamental part of growing up’: Why Aussie kids can’t swim any more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Those statistics are terrifying. Have you seen how much water we play in, in this country?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  well, it depends how that motorcycle is ridden. Most motorcycles have license and insurance requirements. I wonder why these should not?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, then it’s a motorcycle. Easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Record payout for victims of 'illegal and immoral' Australian welfare scheme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So nearly 2 billion of our tax payers money gone to settlement, because of the evil monsters that created robodebt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No security briefing before former Victorian premier Andrews’ Beijing trip where he posed alongside Putin, Kim Jong-un⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean the guy that was pushing so hard for Chinese infrastructure in Victoria? No surprises there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the cost of living crisis will not get better⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tax the miners, and stop our corrupt politicians walking into fat mining jobs. We’d have everything with that one change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife has one also. Absolutely love it. And yes, the PSP emulation is top shelf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawsuit against Lyft alleges driver failed to intervene before ax murder⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know the story, but this seems the most likely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One UI 8 New Features: A First Look at Samsung's Big Update | Tygo Cover⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In a matter of a week or two I upgraded from UI 5 to 6 to 7.

  The move from 5 to 6 more than halved my battery life instantly.

  In one go my phone went from lasting about a day and a half roughly, to needing to be charged by just after lunch time. Absolute disgrace.

  So then I upgraded again with all the promises I’d read that it has improved performance and battery life and it’s dropped at least by another 15%.

  My phone is lucky to make it to lunchtime now, thanks to these upgrades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australians could keep more of their wages if we rebalanced taxes on other forms of income⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Australians could keep a metric shit ton of their wages, if we just taxed the mining sector, and fired our corrupt politicians.

  We would have free education / universities, free health care, free dental and more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The World Is Burning, But Want to Meet Up for Thirty-Four-Dollar Cocktails?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Australia is pulling this nonsense also. I just walk on to the next bar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia should adopt US policies to attract fossil fuel dollars, says Chevron CEO in interview with Rupert Murdoch's The Australian⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Omg a mining corporation and Murdoch. We surely must listen to this unbiased, genuinely helpful advice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kate Chaney: By increasing the GST to 15%, we could make the tax system fairer for younger Australians⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By stopping the corruption in the mining sector, where politicians give the miners all of our resources tax free, and then get fat jobs with the miners, we could have everything we need and more.

  How about we just stop the corruption, and get our free university, hospitals, and everything else like a modern country should.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quiz: can you pick a Victorian from a Queenslander? How our accents change from state to state⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tax free miners getting rich of our resources. Our politicians getting fat jobs with them after finishing with government. Etc.

  Easy to spot WA folk. They’re all slightly ashamed that they’re part of the reason we don’t have free hospitals, university and a higher standard of living.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fairgame$ Has Been Canceled, Too, According to Michael Pachter, Who Says Sony Has ‘Lost Its Way’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exclusives are cancer to gamers, and lock people into ecosystems. All games should be available on all appropriate platforms, for greater consumer choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers asked AI to show a typical Australian dad: he was white and had an iguana⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is scary similar to many a good bloke. Nicely done

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside Australia's billion-dollar bid to take on China's rare earth dominance⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And I bet those miners pay $0 tax.

  And I guarantee their pet politicians get fat jobs with them once done in politics.

  And that, is why we don’t have free healthcare, dental, university, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Higher interest rates smashed landlord profits, but negative gearing means few sold up⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gen x here. Agree. We get leveled. Again. Whilst the boomers just coast through it, mortgage free, reaping bucket tonnes from their multiple properties and huge super, and sipping their laté in delight.

  “The Australian public is subsidising big, dumb utes by hundreds of millions of dollars each year”.

  I like this guy.

  Gen x here. Techy from 12 years old roughly. My hand writing is atrocious. I read until about 17.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australians, especially men, are reading less than ever before⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. And no loot box dopamine hits.
